Best selling Monitor speakers
Here's a ranking of the best products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Kali Audio IN-8 2nd Wave Studio Monitor
Power, precision, and excellent stereo imaging are terms that perfectly describe the Kali Independence three-way monitor. The three-way construction allows each speaker element, with its own amplifier, to perform its duties in its own frequency range without compromises, achieving clarity in sound and very low total harmonic distortion. Compared to a traditional two-way monitor, the management of stereo image and spatial perception is extremely accurate.
The total power of the speaker is 140 watts (60w LF + 40w Mid + 40w HF), which achieves a maximum sound pressure of 114dB, providing sufficient sound for even larger mixing spaces. The Kali Audio IN-8 speaker also features Boundary EQ controls, allowing adjustment of the speaker's frequency response based on its placement. The V2 model has an updated power amplifier, resulting in significantly lower self-noise compared to the first generation. The cabinet itself has also been made more durable.
2. PreSonus Eris 3.5 - 2. Gen
The equipment includes a 3.5" woofer and a 1" tweeter with a silk cone. The output power is 2x 25 W RMS with a Class AB power amplifier. The frequency range extends from 80 to 20,000 Hz, and the maximum level reaches 97 dB at 1 meter. It features an automatic standby switch. The inputs consist of TRS jacks (L/R, balanced) and an RCA pair (L/R). There are treble and bass controls, each adjustable from -6 to +6 dB. An AUX input on the front is available for smartphones and similar devices via a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack. Additionally, there is a headphone jack on the front, along with a volume control that includes a power switch and an operating LED. The device is shielded against RF interference and features a power-on delay, an output current limiter, over-temperature protection, and a subsonic filter.

4. Adam Audio T5V
With its 5-inch woofer, the bass frequency response of the T5V extends up to 45 Hz. The new U-ART tweeter, a breakthrough solution for high-resolution recording and mixing on a budget of up to 25 kHz, is connected to a precision waveguide that has the same dispersion control characteristics as High Frequency Propagation (HPS). Waveguide used in ADAM Audio's flagship S Series monitors. The very even dispersion of the waveguide's high frequencies creates an incredibly wide sweet spot, freeing you from being stuck at a rigid mixing position while working.
A slanted cabinet with a rear bass reflex port and a small footprint allows it to be placed in any room, no matter how small. It contains integrated DSP-controlled crossovers and equalizers as well as analog multi-path connectors. Equipped with a 50 W Class D amplifier for the woofer and a 20 W Class D amplifier for the U-ART tweeter, the T5V generates sound pressure levels of up to 106 dB per pair. Excellent acoustic characteristics and small dimensions make this studio monitor perfect for use in small control rooms in music, video and broadcast production.
5. Adam Audio T10S
The T10S is a powerful yet compact active 10-inch subwoofer designed to extend the bass response of nearfield monitors. At the same time, the performance, features, and connectivity of the subwoofer are specifically tailored to ADAM Audio's T5V and T7V studio monitors.
Equipped with a downward-firing 10-inch woofer and a robust 130-watt Class-D amplifier, the T10S offers a frequency response of 28 Hz to 120 Hz and an impressive maximum sound level of 104 dB SPL. An adjustable low-pass filter allows the bass signal to be tailored to the monitors, optimizing the overall system performance. Additional adjustment options on the back of the subwoofer enable customization for room acoustics and satellite speakers.
Visually, the T10S follows the clean lines of the T-series and is one of the most compact subwoofers in its class, making it easy to integrate into any studio environment. Its acoustic performance has been optimized with four decoupling rubber feet and a generously sized bass reflex port.
